Yes, there I said it.

I hate the dentist and as i get older it just makes it worse. I have had dental problems for as long as I can remember. With all the work I have had done over the years, just doesn’t mean anything. My cavities break or my former dentist didn’t do them right etc.

So now I am on another road of getting dental work done, and honestly the hardest part for me is the shot. I hate it and it hurts more than any other shot I have every had.

So to ease my pain and yours, here is a funny dental selfie.

I have always been the kind of person that puts everyone else needs before me. I did it when I was younger and now that I am a mother even more so. If my children, my husband, my house need something I will always put that ahead of myself.

Now that I am almost 30, it’s catching up with me, and I need a lot of dental work done and fall ill very easy. I am not the perfect mother, I have let myself go, and am reminded about it daily through strangers comments or just pain.

See, I have always had acne and at times can look like a 18 yr old girl, instead of 29. So I am use to the snarky comments and bullying. I am asked daily if my children are actually mine.

It’s hurtful, but honestly it’s really no ones business.

I am not the perfect mother on the outside but, so what? Who cares? All that should matter is that I take care of mu children and they are happy and healthy. I don’t spoil them and can’t afford over the top things, but they have all the basic necessities in life.

Now that all my health issues are catching up with me, I am trying to make myself better on the outside to stay healthy for my kids. Neve realized even with insurance how much it would cost, or a hassle it would be become.

So I am not perfect and I probably never will be, but I am myself and thats all that matters! 🙂

It’s the 4th of July and time to celebrate our freedom. More importantly time to celebrate those who have fought for us. Being a Military wife you understand the importance of the military behind the scenes. I am truly thankful to all those who have served.

While we got to see fireworks a few days ago. Everything is cancelled today due to the impending storm.

HAPPY 4TH OF JULY!!!

Today is my 10 year wedding anniversary. I can’t believe it has been that long, it doesn’t feel like it.

(Our wedding picture, not traditional, but we eloped)

I hope to have 70+ more years of wedded bliss.

Today was our last day of school. I know it’s a bit late compared to other states, but it is what it is.

The kids really love school so they are hoping summer goes by fast. LOL!

This year was awesome as my daughter would say. They each received perfect attendance awards.   Plus they learned who their new teachers are for next year, and are so excited for the new start with their friends.

Are your kids looking forward to going back to school?

Today is Memorial day and while most people are out having barbecues and hitting the beach, we are at home thinking of the good friends we lost in iraq.

Yes, my husband was in the army for 4 1/2 years, and served 2 tours in iraq.

Pictures of my husband in Iraq.

I sincerely thank my husband for his service and sacrifice, but today my family is thinking of those that were lost.

In july 2005, on the second tour to Iraq, my husband’s unit lost 4 really good guys including my husbands best friend.

SGT. MIlton Monzon JR., Staff SGT. Jason Montefering, Army SPC. Ernest Dallas JR.
PFC. Ramon Villatoro JR.

All 4 of these guys died July 24, 2005 in Iraq by a IED, they were all in the same vehicle.

Rest in peace, we are thinking of you this Memorial day.

We are thinking about all the veterans this Memorial day.

Happy Mothers Day to all my readers.

Today has been just a ordinary day for me, no big recognition. I don’t expect it.

My kids gifted me with tons of handmade cards and plants etc.

I still have to say that this is the best Mothers Day gift by far. I received it like 6 years ago from Cracker Barrel Old Country Store. It still makes me cry every time I listen to it.

Hope everyone has a great day.

I have been doing some revamping of my blog. Things are changing. Feed-burner, the original way to subscribe to my feed, will be disappearing soon. I am not even sure if anyone has been getting my email subscriptions.

I haven’t heard anything from my subscribers so I am hoping you still do. To take pre-cautions I am switching everything over to Feed Press.

It is a little more difficult then I thought it would be, as Feed Burner has just magically disappeared most of my subscribers.

So if you subscribe by email and get two one from Feed Press and one from Feed Burner. Please unsubscribe from Feed Burner.

I am nervous to delete the account until I know everything has transferred over.

Same thing with RSS please resubscribe with the little button I have put on my Follow Me in my sidebar. It will take you to my new feed.

I am hoping to get everything back to the way it use to be.

Thank you all so much for your patience. 🙂

When parents started opting out of their children taking Common Core testing. I decided to leave it up to my daughter whether or not she wanted to test.

Well the night before the math testing was set to begin, sh evoke up at 3 AM and couldn’t fall back asleep. She kept thinking about math problems all morning and was burning up. Since her temperature was only 99.6 I sent her to school.

A hour later the school called and I picked her up, she missed the testing but seemed a bit stressed and just slept it off.

Day 2, she swore she was 100 percent and was ready for the test. After testing she started to worry again. and once again was sent home for a stomach ache.

Day 3, I sent her to school again. When she is at home she is fine and I don’t think she should stay home just to jump around and play. So I am hoping she stays all day today.

Is it fair though to put so much pressure on kids about the testing? Her teachers are great and have been doing all the preparations they possibly can. My daughter herself has said she doe snot want to miss school, because they are learning harder math problems and she doesn’t want to be behind.

It was so much stress it made her sick.

Did your kids take the standardized testing? Did they worry about it?
